LRIC has given us two interps today to ponder for the summer:
Baseball Midyear Transfer Returning to Original Institution (I)
The committee determined that, in baseball, a midyear 4-4 or 4-2-4 transfer student who qualifies for the return to original institution exception to the transfer residence requirement is not eligible for competition until the ensuing academic year. [References: NCAA Bylaws 14.5.5.2 (exceptions for transfers from four-year colleges), 14.5.5.2.8 (return to original institution without participation or with minimal participation exception), 14.5.6.1 (exceptions) and 14.5.6.2 (baseball and basketball -- midyear enrollee) and staff interpretation (6/19/09, item 1), which has been archived]
Media Presence at Institutional Camps or Clinics (I)
The committee confirmed that institutions may not arrange for the media, including recruiting or scouting services, to be present at an institutional camp or clinic by inviting members of the media to attend or providing special access (e.g., access to areas not open to the general public) for the media to observe, meet or otherwise interact with prospective student-athletes. Further, the committee determined that members of the media who are present at an institutional camp or clinic may be positioned only in areas open to the general public. [References: NCAA Bylaw 13.10.5 (prospective student-athlete's visit) and staff interpretation (6/19/09, item 1), which has been archived.]
